Just saw Nolan's The Odyssey. Terrible. LONNNGGG vanity project.

I know this is a me thing... but if there is ONE trumpeter that I want to listen to first... It's Lee Morgan. I know it's decades after Armstrong and a completely different context but when I listen to him, I hear him. I'm not annoyed, overwhelmed or nudged into him... I want to hear more of him and his writing was awesome. As far as vocalists go... I go to Nat Cole first (as a male), Billie, and then Anita O'Day. Maybe it's because I'm not a musician but I have tried with Armstrong and I just don't care. Okay go ahead let me have it... 🙄

Just not doing it for me. I know I'm in the extreme minority but I don't get the Louis Armstrong love. I've tried. I got one or two of the Mosaic sets and no matter what I just don't like him. Sorry.

I know it's a lot of Nancy Wilson but if there's any vocalist (other than Billie) that I wanted to listen to for 7 hours it's her... Any thoughts? https://www.importcds.com/youre-as-right-as-rain-the-capitol-albums-1970-1980/5013929092433

I cheated and shazamed the second track. I would have NEVER gotten that one.

Track 1 - Frank Wess???

So it's only LP? Didn't this set come out years ago on CD?

I'm very excited for this. Looks like everything is previously unreleased... I'm totally in, especially for the CD price. "This limited edition centennial box set includes never-before-heard live concerts from Detroit (MI), São Paulo (Brazil), Basel (Switzerland), Auckland (New Zealand) and Toronto (Canada) across a 6-LP 180-gram set, accompanied by a 48-page book with never-before-seen archival material including Oscar’s own photography, poetry and personal remembrances from family, friends and fellow musicians." https://oscarpeterson.bandcamp.com/album/world-tour

Do you have this one? What do you think of the sound?

I am very excited for this. His quintet in the earlier 2000's I thought was the best band I've seen in a long time.... Can't wait for this. https://daveholland.bandcamp.com/track/sextet-lazy-snake

It's the pricing. Caught Bill Frisell trio last night in Cambridge. Absolutely beautiful.

Thanks... I appreciate the clarity.

You are right about that. That 2cd set from a decade or go when they came back was the best...

So I'm trying to grasp my head around what this series is. What is the concept/theme rumming through these? I'm confused.

Thanks. I was wondering if that label was legit (e.g., paid royalties) or was a bootleg. Sounds like it is legit?
